username and password validation with request

[kodeine]

Is it possible to send the request object when we authenticate(**credentials)?
The goal is to find the IP address of the user trying to login, from IP i have to grab the country since usernames are mobile numbers, i have to validate username + country_code, i cannot do this via front-end, best would be doing here. Anyone can guide at the right direction?

I think it would be useful if we can add additional data for authentication.
